levy (lgreek) package on miktex 2.5

Question about levy (lgreek) package. I used it on previous MiKTeX
version, but I face a problems with it on MiKTeX 2.5.
The main problem is: tfm files (with greek fonts) aren't created.
Does anybody know what I should do?

Two problems

Dear users,
I've got two problems with LaTeX.
The first one is: I want to quote text in another part of the text. This
has to be quoted literally.
So I write \sometrick{this}
and I reference it should read
this
--
The other question is that I like a robust evironment for pictures. I
have used the figure environment in the past, but I don't think it is
robust. What's the best environment to use these days?
Thanks,
Wilfred

Before you use it the first time, use:
\def\texttorepeat{this}
Then use the \texttorepeat macro in both places.

Hello
I think it is not recommendet to use \def in LaTeX,

Re: Boustrophedon --- Changing writing direction

There probably is.
But I advise you to look at several methods. XeTeX is an option, but
there is also Omega, which offers a lot of solutions. There are several
packages who support it. You can look into them (see eg ArabTeX, which
has some functionality for it).
Cheers,
Wilfred

just as a hint: you can play with PDF coordinate transforms. To show the
principle, here is a plain TeX Boustrophedon example for pdftex that is
a small modification to the \NumberParagraph macro from the book
"Einführung in TeX", 3. ed., by Norbert Schwarz. Every even line is
mirrored by the "... cm" transform. Maybe there is also some LaTeX
package as basis that could be tweaked like this...
Regards, Hartmut
\long\def\NumberParagraph#1{%
{\setbox1=\vbox{\advance\hsize by -20pt#1}%
\vfuzz=10pt
\splittopskip=0pt
\count1=0
\par\noindent
\def\rebox{%
\advance\count1 by 1\relax
\count2=\count1
\divide\count2 by 2
\multiply\count2 by 2
\hbox to 20pt{\strut\hfil\number\count1\hfil}%

Re: Two problems

There is an Emacs package I found out which does the trick of directly
quoting: RefTeX
The other problem. I've got something which might work.
Thanks,
Wilfred

Landscape problem

Robert Hardy <rdhardy2 <at> yahoo.com>
2007-03-03 23:02:57 GMT

I am having trouble using landscape orientation with version 2.5. As I
remember version 2.4 worked properly.
The problem is not with text formatting, it is with display and
printing. When landscape mode is requested the margins change and text
ahpily goes off the right edge of the paper. Aparently the fact of
lndscape mode is not being communicated to the viewers. The problem is
the same using YAP and when creating PDF documents.
Any sugestions?
